Growing
The Dutch Elm prefers sunny to partially shaded locations with deep, moisture-retentive, moderately nutrient-rich clay soils and a pH value of 6.0 to 7.8. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods. Propagation is done by seeds or cuttings. The elm tolerates pruning well and is often cultivated as a street or park tree.
